I stamped the image in Memento's Espresso ink... hooked on that color. I used Spellbinder's Labels 21 to frame the image...

This is all one panel, not layered. I stamped first and cut out the complete shape. Then I placed a smaller nestie inside to "frame" the shell, taping it in place and then onlyembossed it. I left both of the Nesties in place as masks and I sponged a little of the Espresso ink on to the exposed areas. On the outer exposed area I also airbrushed with R30. On the inside Nestie I used the grey fine tip marker to outline the inside of the die, adding little dots as well. I added a little color to the shell using the other four Copics shown above. The little dots were a result of a my pen bleeding and leaving a dot where I started to draw in the frame... so I just made more dots!

I popped the shell layer up with foam tape. I wanted the shell to stan out a little more, so I used Ranger's Crackle Accents to accent the shell. I kind of followed the shell's lines and added the Crackle Accents in a line pattern. THe card is 4" x 5/12" opening tent style at the bottom. I added a bow along the top to finish it off as well as a few small little peach pearls with a Viva Decor Pearl Pen.
